SongsThis is a very busy time of year for many of us. In the months ahead there will be school proms, graduations, and weddings. It seems as though lately all I have done is run around all over the place! I’ve been buying gifts and cards, picking up flowers, making hors d’oeuvres. When the errands are done, I’ll have to look for something nice to wear to the next celebration I have been invited to. Phew! It’s always a race against time. I am not complaining, mind you. I love celebrating these occasions with family and friends. But as the days are getting longer, my life is so much more hectic. I just keep on running!

In the car getting ready to run many errands, I was listening to one of my David Archuleta CDs when one particular song came on. I had to laugh to myself as I listened to the words, because though I have heard the song many times before, it had special meaning to me as I was trying to keep up with the pace of my busy day. With that in mind, I would like to share it with all of you.

The Song of the Week is…

“Running”

Written by K. Risto, W. Nugent, Dapo Torimiro, James Fauntleroy and S. Russell, “Running” was produced and recorded for Jive Records by Dirty Swift and Bruce Wayne for MIDI Mafia. It is a pop song about a guy rushing to catch the train, missing the train, then running to meet his girl, knowing she is running to meet him too. The song has a frantic, jazzy beat with a catchy hook.

The song “Running” from David Archuleta’s self-titled debut album:

Lyrics to “Running”

Words keep fallin’ out of my pocket
Running late missed the train
Everything is dropping
Holding on, to my heart, in a rush I
Almost forgot it
I must admit it, I’m tired
But I’m coming to you
Don’t know how far I’ve got
But I don’t care, I’m not gonna

Stop running
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothing
I know you’re somewhere running straight to me
Don’t stop running
Don’t stop
Keep on running
Don’t stop
Keep on running

Legs keep giving out
Breaking down, I’m falling
Head keeps telling me this can’t be worth all of this
Holding on to my heart, feel the rush
I’m ready to run forever
I’m holding it together cause I’m coming to you
I don’t know how far I’ve got but I don’t care
I’m not gonna

Stop running
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothing (without you, I’ve got nothing)
I know you’re somewhere running straight to me
Don’t stop running
Don’t stop

I got my good shoes
I got my wind and girl I’m focused
And I’m about to navigate straight to you
And nothing’s gonna stop me, girl
To keep me from coming
‘Cause I got to have every part of you forever

I’m running and running
Keep running, running
Keep running
Keep running

Stop running
‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothing (I’ve got nothing)
I know you’re somewhere running (I know, I know) straight to me
Don’t stop running (Don’t stop running) Ohhh
Don’t stop running (yeaaah)

‘Cause without you
I’ve got nothing (I’ve got nothing)
I know you’re somewhere running (yeaah) somewhere out there running straight to me
Don’t stop running
Cause I’m running, cause I’m running
Don’t stop running

Have a nice week everyone, I must be off to run that next errand! 😉

Take care,
Katie
